Collection Azur Virée en Mer

out of all the lily of the valley scents I've owned, this is the first one that smells JUST like the flower as it's found in the wild. I'm not getting any kind of sunscreen scent from this fragrance, to me this literally smells just like a bouquet of freshly picked lily of the valley flowers covered in dew and rainwater. it's absolutely divine!

Not totally unpleasant, but too tropical for me and smells cheap (may not be surprising for some, but I own a few Jeanne Arthes' fragrances and they do not smell cheap at all). I do not detect too many marine notes, just a lot of lily of the valley turning into solar notes/tiare/coconut. Potentially better after some maturation, I may give it a try in a few months. EDIT: After 3 weeks of maturation it got creamier and less prominent on a synthetic lily of the valley note. Now tiare dominates the whole experience and it got much more pleasant, especially for the price. I can also detect something like lotus/water lily, which makes it a fragrance somewhere between Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited by Lattafa, La Belle Paradise Garden by JPG and Intimate White Flowers by Angel Schlesser. It sits in the middle of this triangle for me. It is a bit creamy and airy at the same time, going in the 'exclusive tropical soap' direction.

First impression with no maceration in cool weather. Spa like. Airily mediterranean. Fresh coconut water and bamboo grass...creamy and dewy-sweet. Hints of sun warmed leaves on sea air. Reminding myself of the notes, I can find the hint of monoi, as if sifted through a waterfall curtain. A few sprays of this on my hand towels and the room was scented for 2 days! Excellent sillage and duration. On skin it would be soothing, making me feel put-together and unruffled as this wafts around me on a hot oppressive day.

Suntan lotion with strong "sea notes" so don't buy if you don't like seaweed fragrance molecules. I'm going to let my bottle breathe until next summer. I paid 6 bucks.

Smells cheap and flat. I don't know what I have expected for the price, however...The only good thing was the picture on the packaging. Do not recommend at all!

My idea of a creamy tiaré sunscreen scent. Gentle marine and even more gentle citric notes are slight nuances to the endless creaminess of sweet tropical flowers and coconut water. 'Refreshing' is what I read in a brand description, and it is absolutely not. This comes from a lover of light and airy perfumes, so Virée en Mer is not my idea of a summer scent, _but_ it smells absolutely smooth and well made to me, undoubtedly pleasant. At that tiny price point, you can get more complexity and chic with dupes though. Solidly moderate in sillage and lasting power, and a pretty bottle with liquid in the most beautiful shade of aqua.

I was hoping to see monoi in the similarities section! tried this on when I stopped by the supermarket for shampoo today and immediately got flown down scent memory lane - my summers as a kid were all heaaavily monoi scented, my family used almost exclusively yves rocher products for YEARS :) sunscreen, post sun lotion, shower gel etc included. all this to say if you like YR monoi, this might sliiightly lack yr's vanilla spice, but otherwise they're identical. what a fun find!

This perfume smells FOUL, cheap, something your would expect for a 5€ perfume. It smells like something rotted and was covered with a ton of sugar and vanilla, but you can still smell that something is spoiled. Plus, it also smells like heated plastic?! I can say this happens with every perfume I've smelled from this brand.

Coconuuuutt bomb 😍😍😍 I love it
